GREEN BAY - Gov.-elect Tony Evers and Lt. Gov.-elect Mandela Barnes will visit Green Bay Tuesday to hear from residents about their priorities for the state budget.

Evers and Barnes will hold the budget session from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay University Union, room 223. The event is part of a statewide tour aimed at gathering feedback for the budget process.

“I invite Wisconsinites to share their ideas with us on how we can tackle the problems we face and improve our state,” Evers said in a statement. “Through this process we are going to hear directly from the people and build a budget that reflects the values and priorities of the citizens of Wisconsin.”

Evers’ and Barnes’ visit comes after state lawmakers passed legislation diminishing some powers of Evers and incoming Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul. The Republican-controlled Legislature also approved a measure that limits early voting to two weeks before an election.

The legislation awaits Gov. Scott Walker’s signature. The governor has indicated he’ll support the proposals.
